Hope You are all playing for 2nd place

DAVID_GIBBS · January 27, 2017, 9:40pm

i like your enthusiasm young man;)

I guarantee Richard is 100% playing by first come first serve, I had many conversations with him while we worked on this, emails before the exact launch time are invalid.

I guarantee Charlie and his team are going to break some hearts if he was the first email in the queue.

If so, we’ll all be looking for crumbs!

If Gibbs got an email in before I did, no one will get any wine ;p

ykwon · January 28, 2017, 7:52pm

Reallly really curious if anyone’s gotten an email yet? He’s probably still working through the details. Well, not that I need to spend more money on wine this week…

David_S1 · January 28, 2017, 10:29pm

I have not. I was hoping we might have heard today from at least the first couple of people that got some bottles.

Bryan_Cottriel · January 28, 2017, 10:38pm

I have not heard anything yet. I am still waiting too.

CFu · January 28, 2017, 11:55pm

He is in Davis going through the cellar to verify all orders. Should get back to everyone soon.

brigcampbell · January 29, 2017, 12:57am

Are you in the car with him?

Richard says up in the offering:
“Please note I am a one man operation, the wines are still located in the cellar near Sacramento while I am not and that I work deliberately and cautiously around older irreplaceable bottles. You will be contacted after the widow(who wishes to be actively involved) and I remove the ordered bottles from the cellar. For some of you, winter is going to delay shipping, so no rushing will help your orders. Please bear with us.”

I wouldn’t expect to hear anything until next week at the earliest.

It’s easy for Charlie to update everybody because he got half the collection in his order

I told Todd, WTF IS THE POINT OF THIS THANKLESS RESPONSIBILITY IF I CAN’T CHEAT AND DAVE GIBBS IS GOING TO BUY EVERYTHING BEFORE I CAN.

Robert.A.Jr · January 30, 2017, 3:19am

I HAVE NO CLUE HOW I MISSED THIS ONE! SAVE ME SOMETHING, FU-MAN!

brigcampbell · January 30, 2017, 3:49am

I have some dirty stuff coming my way hopefully.

I’ll Share with you

DAVID_GIBBS · January 30, 2017, 4:26am

I think I got a few of the bottles I really really wanted.
And I’m always happy to share:)
Fu- you must’ve beaten me to the punch with the Roudin Smith and Hanzell! That '78 RS is outstanding.
My senior citizen fingers aren’t quite as fast as you kids

Rich_Brown · January 30, 2017, 5:09am

Soooo…have some people already got confirmation on what they’ve won/haven’t won???

NoahR · January 30, 2017, 5:50pm

Crickets. Anyone hear yet?

Chris_Tuttle · January 30, 2017, 6:00pm

Not yet.

CliftonD · January 30, 2017, 6:29pm

I’ve heard back from Richard. However, I believe he still needs to cross reference against inventory in the cellar, so there isn’t any confirmation on allocations just yet. I would be patient if possible.

I had requested all they had for my birth year vintage.

Rich_Brown · January 30, 2017, 7:35pm

So did you get a response just acknowledging the fact that your offer was received Clifton?

it’s first-come, first-served for the bottles that had listed prices, and highest offer for the ones that did not, correct?

Sounds like some folks put it some large orders…but assuming the above, that would mean the quantity of bottles requested/bid on should not make a difference in the final outcome, right?

Just trying to figure out if I even have a chance here!
